Innovation That Can't Be Matched: Why TSS Photography Stays Ahead of the Game
"My competition can't touch our Franchise system! ViewFirst/PhotoMatch is putting me ahead of my competition."
— Steve Sindell, TSS Photography Franchise Owner
At TSS Photography, we believe innovation isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a business model.
Last month, TSS Photography was honored as one of Franchise Business Review’s Most Innovative Franchises of 2025—a recognition driven entirely by feedback from our franchisees. While we celebrated the announcement, the real story is in how we earned it: by building systems that make our franchisees faster, more competitive, and better equipped to grow. This isn’t innovation for show—it’s innovation with purpose.
A Platform That Powers Performance
When Steve Sindell said, “My competition can’t touch our franchise system,” he wasn’t exaggerating.
TSS franchisees benefit from proprietary tools like ViewFirst and PhotoMatch—cutting-edge systems designed to streamline operations, elevate the customer experience, and boost revenue. These aren't off-the-shelf tools. They're part of a purpose-built, constantly evolving platform that gives our owners an edge in every market they serve.
Whether it’s fast and accurate photo sorting with PhotoMatch or frictionless online ordering with ViewFirst, these tools are designed to reduce hassle, improve quality, and help franchisees stand out in a crowded field.
Innovation Backed by Franchisee Satisfaction
Franchise Business Review’s list isn’t based on theory—it’s based on results. They analyzed feedback from over 35,000 franchise owners across 365 brands, evaluating trust, creativity, satisfaction, and franchisee success.
TSS made the cut because our owners consistently rated our systems as:
Forward-thinking
Operationally powerful
Customer-centric
Designed for scale
That’s not something we take lightly. Our job is to continually ask: What will make our franchisees’ lives easier? What will make their services more valuable to their clients? What will set them apart next season, next year, and five years from now?
Supporting Visionaries, Not Just Photographers
Being named a Most Innovative Franchise is not just about software. It’s about how we support big dreams. Our franchisees—many of whom are entrepreneurs and seasoned professionals from other industries—choose TSS because we offer the structure, support, and systems that help them run smarter businesses.
From training and coaching, to marketing support, to a nationally recognized brand name, TSS makes sure franchisees are never navigating alone.
Join a System That’s Built to Evolve
The photography industry isn’t slowing down—and neither are we. As consumer expectations change, we continue to invest in tools, strategies, and partnerships that help our franchisees grow their businesses while staying ahead of industry trends.
